MATTHEW 7:14_Because…
If you have never been to Rock City in Chattanooga, Tennessee, add it to your bucket list. You’ll find it at the top of Lookout Mountain. The area known as Rock City is full of many unique rock formations.
There are different paths to take as you encounter fascinating natural wonders. I have taken youth groups there but have never had a group that completed the journey at the same time—even when they took the same path. Some rush through, some stop and explore.
Because Jesus’ gates lead to life paths, you have the freedom to choose the path to follow. You have the freedom to decide how to spend your time on each path. How it ends is your decision. The apostle John says in I John 2:12-13 (KJV), “I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.”
There are a lot of becauses in these verses. Each one is directed to a different stage in life. They are each about receiving the truth because of choosing the path which leads into a relationship with Jesus.
PRAYER
Lord of Truth, I know the Bible is written to me because I choose the truth! In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
Christ caused the Bible to be written to me—I will study!
